The range covers about 50,000 mi² (130,000 km²). It is the territory of the [[Orinilure Collective]], whose [[Oinien]] live in cavern cities and tunnels beneath it, including the capital, [[Orinilure City]], and the cities of [[Lirépiel]] and [[Avilîché]]. The two ranges are said to have once formed a single horseshoe-shaped massif. | ||
The range is rich in minerals and is a center of metalworking and engineering. Because they live underground, its Oinien rarely cross the Orinilure Valley, and they have grown apart from those of the Irere Mountains. | The range is rich in minerals and is a center of metalworking and engineering.
